11.23 – When you live in a country where you can buy 24 beers for less than €5, it seems almost wrong not to take advantage of that. My head hurts.
According to The Sun Arsenal will sign Harry Kewell, speculating that it will be £4m + Jermaine Pennant. Barcelona are apparently out of the running having sacked Raddy Antic and brought in Sir Spitalot, Frank Riijkard. Real Madrid also sacked Vincent of the Forest despite the fact he’d just won them the league the night before. No doubt there’lll be more Wenger to Madrid rumours, but the favourite is Demento’s number 2 Carlos Quieroz.
Meanwhile, there’s more transfer gossip going around than there are nits in a primary school. The Daily Mail says we’re after Argentine/Argentinian goalkeeper Sebastian Saja. We could take him intially on loan with a view to a £2m permanent move. We’ve been linked with this guy in the past as well. Arsenal’s bid for Moncao keeper Flavio Roma was turned down by both club and player, so the keeper search continues.
Former Leeds boss David O’Dreary has had a bid for Peter Paul Robinson turned down. It seems the Leeds keeper is a big Man Utd fan and his dream move would be to Old Trafford, but with American Tim Howard signed and United’s inability to give Fabian Barthez away, a move seems very unlikely.
The Mirror suggests a move to Valencia’s Santiago Canizares is back on. Having thought about this for a little while, he seems like the best solution. An experienced international, but not too young to halt the progress of Stuart Taylor over the next couple of years. He’s alsoi a bit of a character, so he could be a good laugh. I say bring on the Spaniard.
Kanu wants more than the £1m on offer to leave Arsenal. I’m not sure about the accuracy of these reports, so don’t go postal at Kanu just yet. It could easily be just madey-up crap. In journalistic terminology, a ‘reliable source’ usually isn’t. It’s just the journo’s way of adding something he’s just made up to a story.
A reliable source tells me William Gallas will sign for Arsenal this week.
Thierry Henry says he’ll return fit and ready for the new season despite playing in Cuntfederations Cup. “I will have time for a rest and I will be fresh next season. I do not worry about that because I love playing football. I am focused for Arsenal and for France.”
Anders Limpar’s accountant stole money from him in the 90s. Hmmm, I think the stories are running a bit thin now. I think I’ll go hook myself up to that caffeine drip.
Later.
